Today, I continued the Shop Hop endeavor. My original goal was to visit the four shops that I had planned to visit but did not get to yesterday, but I also decided to visit the two closest to my home.
And I did it! Between 11:30a and 3:00p, I visited:
Nancy’s Sewing Center
Sarah Johnson Quilts
Quilt Divas
Country Creations
Maine-ly Sewing
Alewives Fabrics
This brings me to a total of 10 shops already, which means I qualify for the first level of all-hoppers drawings! (I’ve already outdone my total from last year’s hop, when I visited just eight shops.) I have a plan to visit the remaining 16 shops by 4/30.
I have updated the map to show the shops I have visited so far. The yellow markers are for shops visited on 4/4, and the green markers are for the shops visited on 4/5.
And, do I have lots of goodies already–everything from free patterns to a tape measure to chocolate! (I also have one very wrinkly end-of-bolt piece of fabric that I’m not terribly impressed by, but when it’s a free item, can you really complain?) I’ve made good on my promise to buy something at each shop, although I’ve already used all of my intended budget for this year’s hop. :)
In the week or so, I will have write-ups of my experiences at each of the shops, but for now, I’m off to revel in all the new stuff!
